Carson's Trivia Round 3: In Common

#1 Post by mrkelley23 » Thu Nov 11, 2021 7:47 pm

Each of the following trios has one word in common. Name the word.

1. The home of the Boston Bruins, a type of school which first opened in Germany in 1837, and the place where Jesus was betrayed and arrested.
2. A euphemism to tell someone their zipper is down, to travel quickly across a large area while making public appearances, and an unusual way to advertise, popularized by Mail Pouch tobacco.
3. A temporary storage spot for food in some birds; a short whip used by horse riders; or corn in Indiana
4. A 2003 movie directed by Tim Burton; a jam band which formed in the mid-1980s and is still touring today; and a way to make money in Animal Crossing, with over 80 varieties to catch.
5. The astronomical object designated Cygnus X-1; The 1990s alternative rock band founded by the woman who married Kurt Cobain; and what every girl scout camper knows is at the bottom of the sea.
6. A 1960 novel by John Updike about a man named Harry Angstrom; a Jefferson Airplane song sung by Grace Slick on the album Surrealistic Pillow; and a slang term for looking at the cards that would have come up at the end of a poker hand.
7. A song from the musical Fiddler on the Roof; a comic book character who was portrayed by Macaulay Culkin in 1994; and the duo that recorded Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy in 2004.
8. A leading brand of snowboards; an illegal synthetic drug; and the second highest mountain on Earth.
9. In electricity, any point where at least three circuit paths meet; the place where Schoolhouse Rock hooked up words and phrases and clauses; and the train stop that had a little hotel called the Shady Rest (run by Kate).
10. A grapheme almost identical to a circumflex; a root vegetable high in Vitamin A; and a unit of mass equal to 0.2 grams.
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. -- Richard Feynman
